title: Discussion on microcosmic derivation of biological golden section phenomena from DNA geometric structure and snow flower generation.
abstract: As a mysterious and most universal mathematical constant, the ratio of golden section exists in biological organism widely either from microstructure to macrostructure or from anatomical structure to functional features, and the DNA is the most universal germ plasm throughout all life world. In this paper, by analyzing the DNA microstructure and generating process of snow flowers, such a fact is disclosed that biological golden section phenomena derives from the DNA structure at the molecular layer based on the complex nonlinear interaction with the inner environments.
